The Sanford Springvale YMCA summer camps offer a safe, fun, supervised experience. It is our goal to provide your child with a summer filled with memorable moments. Our “Character Development” program focuses on the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility which helps to build a positive environment or each participant to succeed. Our camp staff create a nurturing environment that fosters relationships and builds friendships. We offer a mix of programs that allows every child to experience a variety of activities to meet their creative and active interests. All of our summer camps provide different activities based on age, appropriate curriculum and since we offer a program for children ages 5-12, there is surely a good fit for your child here!

We are proud to offer a Leader in Training program this summer as part of our Camp Marland summer experience. Participants will take part in team and leadership skill building activities, have an active role in day to day camp operations, and go on small group field trips to further enhance their leadership experience. As part of our L.I.T. program campers will also take part in a junior lifeguard training program preparing them for being lifeguards in the future. Leaders in Training will also have the opportunity to participate in some of the daily activities with other campers like swimming, nature walks, and sports and games.
